Along with its natural sweetness, thick texture, and tropical flavor, there is SO much wholesome fuel in this low carb coconut zucchini smoothie.

High Energy, Low Carb Zucchini Smoothie

And, of course, coconut is now famous for its rich saturated fat content. Now that scientific research has debunked the myth that saturated fat causes heart disease, we know that saturated fats (especially from plant-based sources) actually can help protect our bodies from a variety of chronic diseases.

With coconut in particular, it contains a unique type of fat known as medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Unlike other types of fats, MCTs are readily available to the body for immediate energy, so they’re less likely to be stored as fat on our bodies!

This low carb coconut zucchini smoothie will give you a wholesome, long-lasting energy boost, with plenty of dietary fats to help you stay feeling full longer. Plus, it’s so delicious, it’ll have you going COCOA-NUTS!!
